In this masterclass with Courtney Kocak, founder of the newsletter Podcast Bestie (a best friend to aspiring and indie podcasters), will teach creative professionals to harness the power of direct content marketing to propel your audience, network, and business to new heights with a growing email list. Over the course of this class, students will learn the art of launching and evolving a newsletter that serves as a strong foundation for your professional endeavors.
